As Friedrich Schiller argued, Classical art has the specific function of educating the passions, and thus providing the individual within society that personal moral character on which the successful emergence and continued existence of a democratic republic depends absoultely.
Classical science and art coincide with truth, and with the nature of man and woman made in the living image of God. That which opposes classical art, proceeds from hatred against truthful devotion to the moral prinicple of the Classical forms. Classical composition includes the greatest works in Classical sculpture and Classical Renaissance painting, such as that of Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael Sanzio, and Rembrandt. It includes all of the greatest Classical poetry and drama.
It includes all great musical compositions, which are either Classical from the outset, or rendered fully expressive of Classical principles of composition, by aid of the kind of polish supplied to the Negro Spiritual by the collaboration of Antonin Dvorák and Harry Burleigh, and by the continuation of that process of perfection by the great Classical artist Roland Hayes and his collaborators and followers.
In the late 1850's, the French government, under the influence of a committee of composers led by bel canto proponent Giacomo Rossini, called for the first standardization of the pitch in modern times. France consequently passed a law in 1859 establishing A at 435, the lowest of the ranges of pitches (from A=434 to A=456) then in common use in France, and the highest possible pitch at which the soprano register shifts may be maintained close to their disposition at C=256HZ. It was this French A to which Guiseppe Verdi (shown here) later referred, in objecting to higher tunings then prevalent in Italy, under which circumstance ``we call A in Rome, what is B-flat in Paris.''
Learn to sing, and teach others the beautiful chorus of Hebrew slaves from Verdi's Nabucco, called "Va Pensiero." Click here for a PDF file of the vocal score (no accompaniment) , and the Schiller Institute's English translation of VA PENSIERO.

Restore Classical Culture in America!
Every year, in various locations around the globe, lovers of Freedom, Truth, and Beauty celebrate the ideas associated with our beloved Poet of Freedom, on his birthday, November 10, with poetry recitations, drama selections, classical music, and "Spieltriebe" ("creative playfulness").
Write, email, or call 703-297-8368 to participate in Schiller Birthday Celebrations which may be taking place in your local area, or in setting up such activities. (An educational film is available for a history of Schiller and his life.)
In 1859, the turbulent year in which Abraham Lincoln campaigned for President, hundreds of American cities enjoyed performances of Schiller's dramas and recitations of his poetry, sponsored by the local citizens as well as professional actors. Monuments and other memorials were created to honor the 100th anniversary of Schiller's birth. The Ode to Joy, set to music by Ludwig van Beethoven, (the 4th "Choral" movement of the Ninth Symphony,) was heard from coast to coast, which, in turn assisted in shaping an environment in which Lincoln's own ideas of Freedom and Justice could be assimilated by the population.
Embolden yourself to be wise! Use these ideas to wake up your slumbering neighbors and fellow citizens, who may not realize the importance, and the power, of Classical Culture in these troubled times.
